THE RESULTS ARE IN:

I recieved the phone call this afternoon that my test came back and unfortunately the levels are high enough to diagnose me with gestational diabetes! I cant believe it. I kind of feel like a failure, like i did something wrong, but ive been reading up on it ever since the call came and I dont feel as bad. With GD there is an increased risk of the baby getting macroplasia(meaning he gets ginormous causing birth problems for both of us) if not treated well. Also an increased risk of preeclampsia-(just what i need again,) and possiblility of being still born. So i am getting scheduled witha dietician who will teach me how to check my blood levels once or twice daily and give me a monitored diet to start. Hopefully this will regulate my glucose levels and all will be well. But i will have to be on a much tighter leash travel wise and with the dr...I guess we can figure it out when i meet with everyone next week.Kind of bummed, but whatever needs to be done to take care of this little boy is first and foremost. I just hope i can regulate it so that i wont have to do insulin shots. Cause thats just what i need to take more shots in a day! Sorry, im venting right now, im still trying to get in the right frame of mind.
